Avant d'aller faire mon devoir de citoyenne, je vous mets un petit compte-rendu de notre dernière réunion.
Today, it's "Election Day". The weather is grey... Is there any connection? :0(
Before voting, I'll write a quick article.
La réunion se passait de nouveau chez Susan.
Elle nous avait préparé une délicieuse pizza et autres salades...

A pizza made by Susan,,,, yammi !
Regardez ces jolies cuillères ! C'est le petit-fils d'une amie de Susan qui lui en a fait cadeau. Il a fait les manches en fimo... c'est beau et original, non ?

The handles are made of Fimo. It's beautiful don't you think so ?

Pour les anglo-saxones, voici le compte-rendu en anglais par Susan:
Hi Everyone,
Another exciting meeting. Don't know where to start. First of all, eVERYONE'S contribution to Melanie's "insect" round robin. The new squares were out of this world---especialy Taisha's butterfly. How do she and Deborah do it? Are they from some kind of more advanced galaxy? The butterfly was SO intricate, and the ladybugs, four of them in different colors, were really something. Forgive me if I'm neglecting others, but they all look great, even mine! I don't know how Melanie always manages to pick a theme that brings out the best work in all of us.
The meeting was at Susan's (my) house, and very busy. everyone had a lot to say, even me!
The new round robin is Rolande's. She gave each of us the aida and a pattern to follow. That's Rolande---sooooo organized. (after all, she organized the group.) Unfortunately Gloria couldn't come, because her colleagues at work sent her home sick. She's still not feeling great. Refuah Shlemah, Gloria.Vickie, it seems , is mostly recovered, but can't come because of a scheduling conflict. Pnina's hand is STILL in a splint. Pnina, we are waiting for your hand to get back to normal, but don't push it.
The hostess made pizza, but people were almost too busy to eat it. Susan showed off her machine applique quiltlets , each with a lady on it. They are amusing, and everyone was curious to know how to make them. They're really lots of fun to make, but you have to know a little bit about sewing.
Rolande let everyone pick a name for the birthday gift project.
There was so much going on, I decided not to serve coffee or tea, because it was too much trouble. Even though I sent Rolande to Fabian's on her way here to pick up the all important cookes that I'd left there, to go with the coffee. Sorry Rolande. One never knows!
That about wraps it up. Our next meeting will be at Deborah's house, in Netanya, on the first Tuesday in March. Those of us from Raanana will drive up in Gloria's car, with Gloria driving. We'll be a little squished, but that's ok. If anyone has suicidal tendancies, I can drive them.
